Category Elements

Elements are available for selection when adding a Menu Boards: Category Widget to a Layout to give Users more control over what components of Menu Board Categories to use and where they can be placed.

Each Element has a set of configuration options in the Properties Panel. A Menu Board must be selected to use as the data source from the Configure tab for each Element used on the Layout. Control how items should be cycled by specifying a Data Slot to use for each of the added Elements. Data Elements can be further complimented by adding Global Elements to add shapes and text which can all be put into an Element Group for easier configuration and positioning.
